I have a new Read Aloud with Dr. Joanette! Check it out!

I share my book "The Butterfly Hug" on Dr. Joanette's YouTube Channel.

Dr. Joanette is a medical doctor specializing in Emotional Social Parenting (ESP). Check out her work here.

When a little girl finds out that she's going back to in-person school, she becomes scared. She loves school, family, and hugs! But for a while, she was not able to do the things she loves.

But this school year, she gets to see her friends and teachers at school. But how will it work with everyone wearing masks? Will they be able to hear her soft voice? All these thoughts make her nervous. So her mom teaches her The Butterfly Hug, and it calms her down instantly.

This book is a simple, fun story that helps make post-Covid health protocols less scary. Parents and educators have found it a wonderful tool to talk about the pandemic and what kids can do to stay safe and calm.

For children heading back to school during this "new normal," and for parents, grandparents, and teachers looking for stories that give comfort and reassurance to kids about the changes around them, The Butterfly Hug will be a welcome addition to reading time.
